Luigi Spertino La Bigia Barbera d'Asti 2021

Luigi Spertino is the quietly traditional estate from Mombercelli in Monferrato, now best known through Mauro Spertino's deeply personal work with Barbera, Grignolino and Nebbiolo. The family farms old vines in Asti's hills and has remained committed to long aging, modest extraction and wines that speak in an old Piedmontese register. These are not glossy, modern bottlings; they are savory, structured and often released with bottle age, showing the dignity of varieties that can be overshadowed by Barolo and Barbaresco. Spertino's wines reward patience, with earth, dried flowers, red fruit and a firm sense of place.
